The MPhil in Scientific Computing trains early-career scientists and engineers not only in the use of existing computational software, but also in the underlying components of the simulation pipeline, from mathematical models of physical systems and advanced numerical algorithms for their discretisation, to object-oriented programming and methods for high performance computing for deployment in contemporary massively parallel computer architectures (supercomputers).
As a result, course graduates have rigorous research skills and are formidably well-equipped to proceed to doctoral research or directly into employment.
A significant number our graduates are offered fully funded PhD places to continue their studies at the University of Cambridge or at other institutions in the UK and abroad.
The highly transferable skills in algorithm development and high-performance computing make our graduates extremely employable in all sectors of industry, commerce and finance, including aerospace, manufacturing, energy, hedge funds and fintech.
